Overview

It is named after Johann Friedrich Horner, the Swiss ophthalmologist who first described the syndrome in 1869.[1][2] Several others had previously described cases, but "Horner's syndrome" is most prevalent. In France, Claude Bernard is also eponymised with the condition being called "syndrome Bernard-Horner".
